USB 3.2 is currently the fastest USB technology used in various devices. Although USB 3.2 supported devices are still out of reach of the middle class. But in the meantime, scientists have come up with the latest and most advanced technology of USB 4.0.

USB 4.0 was first announced in March this year. However, today USB Promoter Group has released an official press release on its specifications. This means that the use of this technology in different devices is going to start very soon. The USB Promoter Group is a foundation made up of various technology companies working on the development of USB technology. This year’s USB 4.0 is based on the Thunderbolt 3 architecture developed by Intel.

Although we’ve already seen a lot of devices with Intel’s Thunderbolt 3 on the market, its compatibility has been further enhanced by integrating it with USB technology.

A Press release The detailed specification of USB 4 has been published through. The important ones are given here for your convenience.

• Quickly USB 4 supports two-lane operation via the current USB Type-C cable. Its theoretical speed is 40 Gbps which is 8 times more than USB 3.
• Advanced display and data control At the same time it has been better optimized for external display and data transfer control. This means that if your display occupies X Gbps bandwidth on a USB 4 port, you will get another 40-X Gbps bandwidth for data transfer.
• Backward Compatibility: USB 4 is compatible with USB 2.0, 3.0, 3.1, 3.2 and Thunderbolt 3 of your other devices. This means you can connect USB 4 supported devices to those old technology ports. Although you will not get the desired bandwidth then.
